Pinealon
Pinealon is a short synthetic peptide developed from research on the pineal gland. It has shown neuroprotective and cognitive-enhancing properties in animal studies.
Mechanism of Action
Penetrates cell membranes and interacts with DNA to regulate gene expression related to neuronal survival and function. May support pineal gland function and melatonin production.
Dosage Overview
Dose Range
5 mg – 10 mg
Route
subcutaneous
Frequency
1x daily
Cycle Length
1–2 weeks
Reconstitution
Typical Dosage (Research)
Typical dosing: 10-20mg daily, taken in divided doses. Often used in cycles of 10-20 days.
Can be taken orally (capsules) or sublingually. Best absorbed on an empty stomach. Often combined with other neuroprotective peptides.
Considerations for Men & Women
Women: Tripeptide targeting pineal gland function and sleep regulation. May affect melatonin production, which can influence menstrual cycle timing in some women. No established contraindications with HRT or contraceptives.
Men: Same sleep and neuroprotective benefits. No sex-specific dose adjustments. Short cycling protocol (10-15 days) applies equally.
Individual responses vary. These notes reflect general trends from research literature and are not medical advice.
